Police in the Palilula neighborhood of Niš initially discovered the body of a 52-year-old man in an apartment on Hajduk Veljkova Street. Neighbors alerted authorities after noticing an “unbearable odor” coming from the residence. At the time of the first discovery, officials stated there were no immediate indications of a criminal act and ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

Subsequent findings revealed that the man, identified as Igor G., had died alongside his 80-year-old mother, Mirjana G. Witnesses reported that the pair lived closely together and were found in an embrace. While no evidence of a crime has been identified, local residents speculated that the mother may have died of natural causes, after which the son may have taken his own life. The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Niš has ordered autopsies to establish the exact cause and timing of both deaths.
